1. ACCURATE ANSWER:->: B 01


Croskerry (2009) describes two major types of clinical diagnostic decision-making: intuitive and analytical. Intuitive decision-
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01


making (similar to Augenblink decision-making) is based on the experience and intuition of the clinician and is less reliable
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01


andpaired with fairly common errors. In contrast, analytical decision-making is based on careful consideration and has greater
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01


reliability with rare errors.

To obtain adequate history, providers must be well organized, attentive to the patient‘s verbal and nonverbal language, and

ableto accurately interpret the patient‘s responses to questions. Rather than reading into the patient‘s statements, they clarify
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01


any areas of uncertainty.

Vital signs are part of the physical examination portion of patient assessment, not part of the health history.

Sources for diagnostic statistics include textbooks, primary reports of research, and published meta-analyses. Another source of
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01


statistics, the one that has been most widelyused and available for application to the reasoning process, is the estimation based

01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01


clinical reasoning is improving, and there is an increasing expectation that clinical reasoning be based on scientific evidence.
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01


Evidence-based statistics are also increasingly being used to develop resources to facilitate clinical decision-making.

To assist in clinical decision-making, a number of evidence-based resources have been developed to assist the clinician.
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01


Resources, such as algorithms and clinical practice guidelines, assist in clinical reasoning when properly applied.

The sensitivity of a diagnostic study is the percentage of individuals with the target condition who show an abnormal, or

01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01

The likelihood ratio is the probability that a positive test result will be associated with a person who has the target condition
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01


and a negative result will be associated with a healthy person. A likelihood ratio above 1 indicates that a positive result is
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01

Clinical decision (or prediction) rules provide another support for clinical reasoning. Clinical decision rules are evidence-
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01


based resources that provide probabilistic statements regarding the likelihood that a condition exists if certain variables are
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01


met with regard to the prognosis of patients with specific findings. Decision rules use mathematical models and are
01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01


specific to certain situations, settings, and/or patient characteristics.
